Drop-in centre “The Fish” is a non-profit organization supporting the children of Haskovo, Bulgaria.

As a result of various problems with their family and education these children are lost to society. Most of the time they are to be seen hanging out in the streets, not participating in ordinary activities, such as youth activities, sports clubs etc.

Street culture is oppressive. It is the survival of the fittest. Inevitably these children become gang members, involved in criminal activities.

Our concept is preventive. We hope to keep the children away from the environment of narcotics and prostitution, which all leads to crime.

Through meaningful activities the project aims to supply the children with knowledge of their human rights, and with the experiences and tools to take an active part in a democratic society. They will learn to take responsibility for themselves and for others too.

Our strongest pedagogic tool is the expeditions we organise into the countryside, outside the town of Haskovo. These Sunday and weekend trips let our users experience life as a scout, away from stupid grown ups!

Drop-I centre “The Fish” makes a difference for our clients, the children of the streets of Haskovo.
